Christopher Newport University

Entering his ninth season as the Christopher Newport women's tennis head coach in 2025-26, Weiner is in his 14th year as a member of the staff after having served as an assistant for both the men's and women's teams since August of 2012.

Weiner elevated the women's tennis program to unprecedented heights in 2024 when the Captains unseated the 19-time defending conference champions from Mary Washington with a 5-2 win to capture the first Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference title in program history. CNU went on to secure an at-large berth into the 2024 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships, making the first ever appearance in the team tournament. 

For his efforts, Weiner was named the Conference Coach of the Year as the Captains captured a 13-6 overall record. He repeated as the C2C Coach of the Year in 2025 after guiding Christopher Newport to a second consecutive conference crow and another 13-win campaign. 

While leading CNU women's tennis, the Captains have made monumental strides toward the goal of winning a national championship. The women's program has vaulted higher in the national rankings than ever before. 

A marquee season in the quest for national prominence came in 2020-21 when he guided junior Reagan Delp to the NCAA Division III Singles National Championships. Under Weiner's tutelage, Delp recorded a pair of victories in the national event and became the first All-American in women's tennis history. In the final national rankings, Delp collected the highest individual honor, the Captains were ranked higher than ever before as a team, and rookie Tessa Trate became the first freshman to finish the year ranked in both singles and doubles. 

The bar continues to rise as the team added more precedent-setting headlines in 2021-22. Trate played with newcomer Raine Weis throughout the year and by season's end, the duo became the first ever partnership to qualify for the NCAA Division III National Championships. Weis also qualified for the singles bracket and became the first player in Captains' tennis history to play in both championships in the same season. Powered by the success of the two young players, CNU finished the year with the highest national ranking in program history at No. 23 in the nation. 

Over the next four seasons, Weis established herself as the most decorated player in program history. She was named the Conference Player of the Year three times and collected Doubles Team of the Year honors twice. The two-time conference tournament MVP qualified for the NCAA Singles championship three times and competed in the NCAA Doubles championship three times as well. At the end of her senior season in 2025, Weiner and the Captains had established yet another new standard in the national rankings, climbing to as high as No. 14 in the ITA poll. 

In his final year as an assistant coach, Weiner was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Atlantic South Region Assistant Coach of the Year, marking the first time a CNU coach has collected the honor. Weiner helped the CNU women's tennis team to a record-breaking season in 2016-17 while seeing the Captains earn a spot in the Top 25 for the first time in program history. 

Trending upwards, Weiner then guided the Captains to another record-breaking campaign in 2017-18 in his first year as head coach. For the second year in a row, CNU set a new program record for the highest national ranking in the final poll of the season as they finished the year ranked No. 25. Leading the way, Weiner helped guide sophomore Johanna Ranta-aho to CAC Player of the Year plaudits and the first NCAA Singles Championship appearance by a Captain since 1992. 

Prior to arriving at CNU, Weiner served as the head of Elite Training at the Folkes Stevens Indoor Tennis Center at Old Dominion University. He graduated from Christopher Newport University in 2008 with a degree in political science. A native of Charlottesville, Virginia, he graduated from Charlottesville High School in 2003.

As the assistant tennis professional from 2007-2009 he was responsible for teaching lessons to players of all ages and ability levels and also for coaching the players in the James River Tennis Academy. During this time David was also the primary traveling coach for high level tournament players where he was responsible for the training, tournament travel, and match planning for a large group of junior players. 
   
Weiner began work at the Folkes Stevens Tennis Center in October of 2009 and quickly established one of the premier training sites for players in the Hampton Roads area and the state of Virginia. David has worked with 5 players who have attained national rankings in the top 200 in the last two years. He has worked with over 10 different players who have achieved top 25 Mid-Atlantic rankings in the last two years.
